Pencilhouse is taking a writing & reading tour in October!

Hello!

Pencilhouse is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to help writers of all stripes, creeds, and classes engage the creative process and improve at their craft.

We do that by hosting regular open submission calls to our patrons and the public, working directly with writers and poets on their work through in-depth critique, notes, and discussion, and by publishing the process-centered journal Zero Readers.

Pencilhouse also hosts virtual and in-person writing rooms for the purpose of encouraging writing communities to come together, as well as for productivity—especially for folks who benefit from strategies like body doubling and communal work.
